Meet the Nose-Plugging Grandmas of India

Travel Cheaper w/ Reward Credit Cards! www.drewbinsky.com/credit-cards
Hey guys! I made it all the way to the most remote state in India (Arunachal Pradesh) way up in the Northeastern part of the country. I came here with one goal: to meet the NOSE PLUG TRIBE and tell you their fascinating story.
Back in the day, the humble ladies of the Apatani tribe would plug their noses with thick pieces of bamboo to avoid getting kidnapped (by men from neighboring tribes). Then in 1975, the Indian government banned nose plugging, and today, there are less than 500 women remaining. You will get to know several of them in this 20-minute documentary.
I learned a lot about Northeast India while shooting this story, and I hope that you feel inspired by this incredible region. There is still plenty more of India to explore, as you will see in my next 2 videos!
Does anyone read these descriptions anymore? Sometimes I feel like I'm writing to nobody here when I type these... If you are reading this, then comment 3 emojis of how this video made you feel and share where you are from (I will be reading them all!!)

    The shaman at 6:43 is from my Village. His name is Mudang Pai (you can see we have the same surname), he is one of the few remaining shamans in our tribe. There are lots of families who don't have a shaman anymore, and while performing any traditional rituals they will play the voice recording of the prayers/chantings. (As they don't have a priest anymore) Fun fact: Mudang Pai has played a role in a Bollywood movie "Bhediya" 1 more fun fact: While Aate(Brother) Pai is a priest for our traditional indigenous trbal religion, his wife is a Christian, but they live peacefully together. Both of them respecting each other's religion.

    My favorite musician from Arunachal Pradesh is Taba Chake. Also I am addicted to music of Mizoram in India. These are some of my favorite musicians from Mizoram: 1) Saiwanah 2) K Hminga 3) Kimkima 4) Mami Varte 5) C Sanga Mizoram has one of the best music industry in the world and nobody has even heard of it. Sangtei Khuptong's song Di Ruk Te is one of the best songs I heard in 2023/ Unfortunately, there is a section of tough backpackers who visit India and they are only interested in staying in hotels costing US$ 5 to US$ 15, eating street food and roaming around in street markets and slums. Then some of them have bad experiences and they say India sucks.

I love learning about other cultures, but this, I had simply never heard of! This just proves the immense cultural diversity in India. Thank you so much, Drew, for introducing us to so many new places and the traditions there! ❤ from West Bengal

    Fantastic video! It was so interesting to see a little bit of how these lovely people live. :) It does make me sad thiugh that the origin of the nose plugs for the women was to make themselves "ugly" to avoid kidnapping... it's very sad that the women were desperate enough to mutilate themselves so they could try to be safe. At least now it's something the ladies seem to be proud of.
